About Us

Oak Logs & Gasoline is more than a book—it’s a movement calling people back to purpose, discipline, and real growth in a world running on shortcuts and quick sparks.

Founded by author and mentor Jake Knox

The brand exists to help young adults build strength from the inside out. Through stories, tools, workshops, and community, we help people understand the difference between borrowed fire and the flame you learn to tend yourself.
We believe in mentorship that shapes character.
  • In daily habits that build resilience.
  • In honesty that heals.
  • In purpose that outlasts pressure.
Here, we don’t promise easy.
  • We promise real.
  • We promise work worth doing.
  • We promise that your fire—once built well—can light the way for others.
Oak Logs & Gasoline is for mentors, parents, coaches, educators, and every young adult who knows they are meant for more. It’s a growing community committed to building leaders who act with integrity, serve with humility, and live with intention.

This is how we change the world: one log, one lesson, one fire at a time.
